Thankyou
Nahin yaar, Rakshas is basically the Hindi word for “demon”…Rakshas is a race, a species if you will. And Raavan was of demon blood from his maternal side. His father was a holy sage (rishi). Also, he was born with the name “Dashanan” cuz he had 10 heads. Mahadev gave him the name “Raavan” according to some legends and that is what they showed in this show also. That Raavan got this name cuz of the painful cry he let out when Mahadev shattered his arrogance.
Rakshas were a species that existed alongside the gods and other Demi-god species of the time who were always in conflict over power and control.
